The Lyme Disease - package of diagnostic tests

Lyme disease

Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Infection most often occurs after a tick bite. Upon contact with the blood, the bacteria get into the human body, finding their place in the skin, tendons, blood vessel walls or the nervous tissue.

Lyme disease symptoms

The first symptom of Lyme disease is the so-called “erythema migrans”, or reddened skin lesion spreading in a circular manner around the site of the bite, as well as flu-like complaints, such as headaches, pain in the muscles and joints). At a later stage of the disease, patients experience arthritis, problems with concentration, cardiac dysrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) and chest pains.

In the case of Lyme disease, quick diagnosis and treatment implementation guarantee a 90% chance of being completely cured. Unfortunately, the chronic forms of Lyme Disease are more difficult to treat and may have lasting repercussions on the body.

Lyme disease test - like a test package?

Buy the “Lyme Disease” package and make sure whether or not your health problems originate from Borrelia infection.

The tests offered in the package are screening tests performed by means of the ELISA method. The diagnostic methods are aimed at detecting anti-Lyme antibodies that are formed following Borrelia infection. The IgM antibodies may appear in the blood of a person bitten by a tick approximately 3 weeks after contact with the bacteria and disappear after approximately 3 months. IgG antibodies, on the other hand, appear after 6-8 weeks. If you test positive, it is recommended to get a confirmation test for Lyme Disease using the Western Blot method.

Validity period of the package: 3 months from the date indicated in the order confirmation.
